RECIPE: Cheesy Ham and Potatoes Casserole

Confession. This recipe was supposed to have a homemade cheese sauce like the one Jenae makes. Actually, I was going to make it JUST LIKE Jenae makes it. Then, I got pressed for time and realized the cheese sauce was forgotten, and I needed to get this in the oven. So, I fudged.

I grabbed a can of cheddar cheese soup, a can of cream of mushroom soup, and some milk. I stirred until combined.

Who am I kidding? I WISH I had whisked it together better but spreading the cheesy mixture over the onions, ham, and potatoes worked well too.

Another goof. I covered it. Nope. Don’t do that because it gets soupy.

Sprinkle it with cheese and some sliced green onion for color… or skip that. It’s up to you but I figured that since I had goofed TWICE, I needed a little color to redeem me.

NOTE: If you want to make it a one dish dinner, just add some mixed vegetables or peas and carrots to the dish before you cover it with soup.

Place potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl with water. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 6 to 8 minutes, or until potatoes are slightly softened. Drain potatoes and place in a baking dish sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.

Sprinkle with chopped onion and ham.

Whisk together soups, salt and pepper, and milk in a bowl. Pour over the potatoes and ham.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese and green onion. Return to the oven for 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
